Is there a source for the push in plastic retainers that secure the front side marker lights to the fender? And how do you get the old ones out? One of mine broke and I can't get it out of the light holder. I'm sure I can drill it out but want to source some new retainers before I go any further.
Thanks,

I use nylon? plastic fastners and nuts usually available at any hardware store.

Don't know if the push clips are available and don't care.

Good idea. Thanks

Plastic pop rivets work too.

You can get them out by tapping it out with a hammer and screwdriver.

Just to be sure I just went back and removed one, the hardest part of it is supporting the piece without resting on the back side of the clip which would prevent it from coming out all of the way. It popped right out with a couple of hits.

It worked! Thanks again.

Yeah, but a concours judge would find them right away. Since there is no other source, I've been buying up plates with only one usable pin in them and soaking them in glycerin. It works to soften them. No, none are for sale.
